A model/actress and photographer from Minnesota. I've been living in Los Angeles for 10 years now, and moved here from Manhattan where I lived for 10 years. I love all that LA has to offer, and I hope I can help share some of the things I love about it with you. I am an avid traveler and think that sites like Airbnb make traveling so much more enjoyable.

The house is huge. In 11 days, the kids went to camp everyday. They even have not got enough time to go downstairs and explore the backyard.
I recommend it for all the families. Thank you very much again for everything.

Me and my family did not have a good experience at this house. First of all it was really dirty when we came (old razor cap laying on the floor in the shower, dirty showers and toilet with an yellow stain on the seat, dirty floors, kitchenware was badly cleaned, one sheet had stains on it and more). The stove was not working right, we could smell gas leaking from it which was scary, microwave did not work and the AC did not work in some of the rooms. It was really hot and some of us had to sleep in very hot rooms or in the office on mattresses. Mellissa brought the housekeeper again to the house to clean. She also fixed the stove and one of us fixed the microwave. Mellissa could not fix the AC the 10 days we stayed there wich was unfortunate. She promised some temporary free standing AC units but they never came. Sadly the owner and Melissa did not want to give is any refunds because of these things, they offered us a picture by the owner but we don't want that, we want at least some of the money back so we can split it, we can't split the picture and we don't think we could sell it.
Me and my family can not recommend staying at this house!

I am sorry to hear your stay was not enjoyable. We have now have brand new AC units and all new high tech thermostats as well. They were installed two days after your check out. This was the earliest time we could get it installed. I have hired new house keeping services for the house too, so I can be sure things are always cleaned properly. This was not a very good experience as a host for me as well, I tried and tried to accommodate you and your kind family, but seems my efforts were not enough. Glad to know all my other guests have been very happy with their stay at the house. I am happy to offer you a large discount to stay in this house again some time in the future. I will be sure to make sure your family enjoys and stays cool and clean.

Reviews From Hosts

Melissa was great. She was really warm and friendly, and uber helpful. I'm pretty new at hosting and Melissa's had some really useful input. She had a lot of respect for the home and for my caretaker who does all the running around in my absence. And I'm really appreciative of that.
